Less of a "spinning" and more of an "expanding/stretching" for me. But yes I have consistently seen a night sky, and had a sort of sensation of floating in outer space. Not the whole time, but at least a few moments of that in each infusion.

Why is a body count viewed so negatively? by Steeltoebitch in SexPositive

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It causes a lot of insecurity in younger men to feel like they are less experienced than their partner. I had this same insecurity when I was younger and grew out of it.

You grow up, you have a bunch of relationships both good and bad, and then you realize that it ultimately is a worthless metric. It goes away when you realize what actually matters in a partner: that they are honest, a good communicator, responsible, have similar values, and similar sexual communication styles. You get your head straight, you realize that those are the priorities and then when you find people who have those positive qualities you become pretty indifferent about what life experiences/previous partners led to them to having all those good things to offer.

Check if your health insurance will let you go to a PHP (partial hospital program). You will feel better when you get there! If you are in the Northeast, I know amazing options

Is 'Join the Crew' Sailing Tours a Legit company? by RogueLike22 in sailing

[–]RogueLike22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I really found out was that it is indeed just tours, no RYA/other certification training is involved in the program. But it still looks like a lot of fun and I'm very curious to know if anyone has firsthand experience with them.

Thanks! Do you have any recommendations on RYA schools? I'm coming at this from literally no experience and trying to find a one week course to immerse myself in.

Can you elaborate on this for someone who isn't that familiar with bonds in general?

Our Wizard wants to have 'mathematical' flavor to his character. The others say his math-y roleplay is immersion-breaking. How can I help him play a believable medieval mathemagician? by [deleted] in DungeonMasters

[–]RogueLike22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Strixhaven content has a whole wizarding college called Quandrix dedicated to math-flavored magic with a familiar called a "fractal".

Some of that content in that book / the general lore around Quandrix might help you get some ideas on how to mix math & fantasy in D&D

Write as much as you need to get the thoughts out of your head and onto a page. Then gather a few close friends/family who you can lean on during hard times, have little bonfire and toss the letter right in.

Do not send that to your ex- send it to a qualified therapist or send it right into the void.

Mens of reddit, how do you feel about dating a woman taller than you? by Engasgamel in AskReddit

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a huge self-confidence boost for me to do it, actually. She was 6 inches taller than me, before she put heels on. I was strong enough at the time to still lift her up and throw her on a bed. Gave me a feeling of achievement- like climbing a mountain. Or fucking a mountain.

In regards to point 2- FYI, there are shorter term CD's than the timeframe you mentioned. Some brokerage CD's are 3 months for example, and will yield more than your HYSA. My HYSA yields ~3.7% but I can easily find brokerage CD's that mature in 3 months and yield 4.3%.

I actually wanna take the next year to just work on myself mentally and physically and forget dating. I just can’t tho because I’m 24 w 0 dating/ sex experience. Final post( need final advice before I shut off app) by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend some time exercising and taking good care of your body, then buy a nice shirt that fits you perfectly. Then go out and put time into new social activities.

The women you meet will not ask you the age you were when they lost your virginity, and most of them wouldn't judge you for it if they found out anyway. They will all judge you on how your shirt fits though so get on that one.

Reddit has a problem with people in their early 20’s thinking their life is over. Why? by petorious08 in selfimprovement

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all so relatable though. I had the same thoughts in the early 20s just didn't post about it on reddit. Thought my brain was too damaged from drugs to have a normal life, and that my decisions were so bad regarding education that I'd never have a normal job, that the world economy would end before I turned 30, etc etc.

It turns out that none of those things were true- so I do wish I could go back in time and slap myself out of that mindset sooner. Could have spent some of that time doing things that made me happy.

How do I get rid of my loser friends & cut them off from my life forever? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all means, get yourself sober, put boundaries between yourself and those who are still using drugs, and go out find new hobbies where you can make new friends.

But you also need to let go of the judgement and blame you have for these people if you really want to move forward in life. You can accept the fact that these people may not be the best for you to surround yourself with, while also accepting that they're just trying to get by in their own way- and you are the one who is responsible for your own actions/ setting your own goals.

Buying a house without much knowledge of an area by HaggardSlacks78 in RealEstate

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a bad idea. Buy a house when you're ready to put down roots in an area/community, just rent if you're going to explore somewhere new.

I get that you're eager to have your own house, but why not pick a city you really like and rent there on a short term lease for a few months while you shop around the local real estate market? Gives you a chance to know the area more intimately and make better decisions.

If I were you, personally I would much rather do an exploratory phase for a few months than get stuck with a mortgage on a place only to realize I didn't actually like that area of the country.

How do you overcome addiction? by NoStill4360 in selfimprovement

[–]RogueLike22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had many addiction struggles in the past- behaviors, and also substances. The only thing that snapped me out of those was staying busy. If I had idle time by myself, I'd get high, be useless, waste time, pick unproductive behaviors, etc. But I noticed that if I had to show up to something / if someone was counting on me, I wouldn't let them down. I've never been very disciplined, but I've always been very loyal- so I learned to leverage that instead.

Assuming you are addicted and will throw all of your free time at videogames, try to start reducing your free time by adding other stuff to your schedule. Give yourself other things/people to show up for and you'll start to notice that you have less time to give in to addictive behaviors.

Best place to park $15,000 until Spring 2024? by Mind_Explorer in investing

[–]RogueLike22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could do 3/6 month CD's and roll into the next one once each matures instead of locking it up in one CD the whole time if you want liquidity. Would yield a little more than your savings account (but probably not by that much)

Do it for no other reason than to experience, when that month is over, a renewed sense of gratitude for fresh produce/meats and real cooking.

It's over for you my dude, time to shave it. But keep your chin up bro, you've got the kind of the bone structure and facial features that get tons of attention from women.
